About Roasted Tomato Chutney…
Roasted Tomato Chutney is a popular chutney in North India especially Uttar Pradesh. It is a flavorsome summer affair.
When there is a lesser variety of seasonal vegetables available in the market, simple, homemade condiments like tamatar ki chutney adds great variety to the everyday menu.
The word ‘bhune’ is a Hindi term for anything that is roasted. The tomatoes and chilies are roasted over the direct flame to get the smokey flavor in the chutney. The fire-roasted tomatoes give chutney its name – bhune tamatar ki chutney.
At times I feel it is the Indian take on the Mexican tomato salsa. Who knows, maybe the recipe was inspired by the authentic salsa.

Ingredients Required:
You need only 5-ingredients for making this tomato chutney.
Fresh Tomato – use the ripe and juicy tomatoes
Green Chilli – helps in cutting down the acidity of the tomatoes.
Fresh Coriander – makes the chutney refreshing and aromatic

Does one need to peel the charred flesh from the tomato and chilies ?
No need. It adds a smokey flavor to the chutney. But if you are not comfortable eating them, you can.
Looks amazing 🙂
